Hero Arts Beep Beep & Spellbinders Mugs & Kisses Pumpkin Spice Fall Mug Card

Posted on by

There is something about the first fall cards of the season that makes me want to pull out all the pumpkins, warm colours and cozy drinks — and this card manages to fit a little bit of everything into one design!

For this project, I combined elements from the Hero Arts Beep Beep Bundle with the Spellbinders Merry Mugs & Kisses dies to create a warm fall coffee-card scene. I love mixing products from different collections and finding completely new ways to use them together, and these two sets ended up being such a fun pairing.

The card front is divided into four colour-blocked sections, which gave me four little areas to decorate while still keeping everything connected. I used the mug from Merry Mugs & Kisses in two opposite corners, filling each one with a rich brown drink and topping it with a big swirl of whipped cream. A tiny bit of speckling on the cream adds just enough texture to make those mugs feel extra cozy.

For the other two sections, I pulled out the fall dies from the Hero Arts Beep Beep Bundle. I layered pumpkins in different autumn shades alongside the sunflower and scattered a few of the tiny leaves around the design. Repeating those elements in opposite corners helped balance the larger mugs without making the card feel too symmetrical.

And really, there was only one sentiment this card could have:

PUMPKIN SPICE & EVERYTHING NICE

The sentiment comes from the coordinating Hero Arts stamp set in the Beep Beep Bundle. I stamped it onto a raven strip, good embossing power to make it pop & placed it right across the centre where all four sections meet. I love how that little bit of contrast pulls the entire design together.

All of the coloured cardstock on this card comes from the current Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock Collection, which has 48 coordinating shades. 

For this project I worked with a warm autumn palette of Alabaster, Merlot, Sicily, Carrot, Terra Cotta, Cinnamon, Saffron/Beeswax, Fawn, Fern and Truffle. The mix of creamy neutrals, pumpkin oranges, deep red, golden yellow, green and brown gives the card that unmistakable fall feeling without making everything blend into one big sea of orange.

I especially love the contrast between the Alabaster mug and background pieces and those deeper autumn shades. It gives all of those tiny die-cut details room to stand out.

This one was also a good reminder that seasonal products don’t necessarily need to stay within their original collections. A mug from one set, pumpkins and flowers from another, and a great fall sentiment were all it took to create something completely different.

Now I just need an actual pumpkin-spice drink to go with it. ☕🎃🍂

Hero Arts Coney Club Hot Dog Stamp & Cut Card

Sometimes the simplest cards end up being my favourites, and this one definitely falls into that category!

I recently picked up the Hero Arts Coney Island Club bundle (yes… the entire bundle 😄), and I couldn’t wait to start creating with it. This sweet little hot dog immediately became the star of today’s card.

To keep the focus on the image and sentiment, I created my own custom background using the Hot Dog Clear Stamp Set, stamping the hot dogs and mustard bottles in a light tone-on-tone pattern. The centre panel is layered over yellow gingham paper from the Spellbinders ColorWheel Collection, which gives the card fun summer picnic vibes without competing with the focal image.

The bold “HOT DOG!” sentiment is layered with a pop of red cardstock for extra dimension, while the secondary sentiment, “You’re Bun of a Kind,” comes from the Many Franks Stamp Set.

To finish everything off, I added a few Hero Arts enamel dots around the sentiment panel. They’re a small detail, but they help balance the design and draw your eye right into the centre of the card.

I love how cheerful this card turned out, and I have a feeling this bundle is going to see a lot of use!

Supplies

  • Hero Arts – Coney Club Bundle
  • Hero Arts – Hot Dog Clear Stamp & Cut
  • Hero Arts – Many Franks Stamp Set (sentiment)
  • Spellbinders – ColorWheel Collection cardstock
  • Hero Arts – Black enamel dots
  • Alcohol markers for colouring
  • Foam adhesive

Happy crafting! ❤️

Hero Arts My Monthly Super Hero June 2026 Bright Summer Popsicle Card

Summer cards don’t have to be complicated to make a big impact. For this project, I kept the design clean and playful by arranging colorful popsicles in a circular pattern around the “Soak Up the Fun” sentiment from the Hero Arts June 2026 My Monthly Hero – Hello Summer Stamp & Cut collection.

Each popsicle was die cut from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock, creating a bright rainbow palette without any ink blending on the die cuts themselves. To keep the focus on the colorful treats, I added a soft yellow ink-blended glow behind the sentiment, then finished the card with white gel pen highlights, clear embellishments, and a few tiny white splatters for a light, summery feel. The flip-flops and daisy accents help frame the design while keeping plenty of clean white space.

also carried the summer theme inside the card with a simple sun and daisy embellishments, giving the inside a finished look without adding bulk.

Supplies

  • Hero Arts My Monthly Hero – June 2026 Hello Summer Stamp & Cut
  • Hero Arts June 2026 Pool Party Die Set
  • Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock
  • White gel pen
  • Yellow ink for soft background blending
  • Clear embellishments
  • Foam adhesive

Sometimes a handful of bright colors, a strong focal sentiment, and a little shine are all you need to create a cheerful summer card. ☀️🍦

Hero Arts My Monthly Super Hero June 2026 Sippin Summer Poolside

Nothing says summer quite like a floppy sun hat, a refreshing drink, and bright, cheerful colors! ☀️🍹

These two cards were created using the Hero Arts June My Monthly Super Hero collection, Soak Up the Sun, featuring the fabulous Sippin’ Summer Die Set paired with the coordinating Fabulous Phrases Stamp & Cut sentiments. For the backgrounds, I used the fun Wavy Lines Cutting Die, which adds the perfect amount of movement and lets you experiment with endless color combinations.  

Rather than recreating the colors from the product packaging, I challenged myself to explore two completely different palettes. The first card leans into bright tropical sunset tones with warm oranges, coral, pinks and aqua, while the second combines cool teals with rich berry accents for a fresh, modern summer feel.

All of the cardstock used on both cards is from the Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock Collection. I love how effortlessly the colors mix and match, making it easy to create bold layered backgrounds while keeping everything cohesive.

These dies were such a joy to work with, and I can already tell they’ll be getting plenty of use throughout the summer. Changing only a few cardstock colors completely transforms the look of the design, which is one of my favorite things about layered die-cutting!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope these cards inspire you to experiment with your own favorite color combinations. Sometimes simply swapping a few colors is all it takes to make a design feel completely new.
